There was a book written years ago that I read that thought that gas would keep increasing in price until it was $20/gallon US (3.79 liters). It was written before the big boom in fracking I think. Anyway the whole book was, what would happen, how fast would people change to alternatives or fund alternative research, etc. I thought it was an interesting take, because it rested on the idea that corporations won't change unless they are forced to, and people will freak out and demand change when the price is too high.

The name of this book? I'd actually love to read it... I personally think we'd turn to barbarism since very few people actually have basic survival skills...and I'm not talking about building a fire...what I mean is farming, working leather, building stuff...
I hope this makes sense somehow 🤣🫠
$20 Per Gallon by Christopher Steiner
And yeah, you make sense.
This is why I am not (not that I have the money to anyway) the type that "prepping" means "filling a basement with dried and canned goods and guns," it's "learn to do things from scratch for myself and make friends who can do other stuff," because really if society falls apart, that's how you'll survive. Not by hiding in a bunker (which corona showed most people wouldn't do anyway, as after just a short quarantine we had protests of people demanding restaurants and haircuts, lol).
